I loved this television show. Didn't catch on until I was hunkered-down with my first husband.(The non-evil one) We rented an episode at his suggestion, and kept going. That was the early 1980's, well after the show's prime and in the thick of mine. I watched every episode several times. Silly on the surface, but deep man. Soul deep.
Has anyone else noticed that many news anchors and t.v. personalities sport the Prisoner blazer look? I liked it on him, but admit that I loathe it on anyone else. Especially as a pantsuit.Don't even get me started on the audacity of pantsuits.
Adios, Patrick. You are now a (completely) free man.

May his memories be for a blessing.
I did NOT get this TV show AT ALL.
further proof that i am just weird.
or maybe some things aren't mean't to be 'gotten' in the traditional sense. :)
I thought it was a cool show, but I never got to see them all. I also appreciated the irony of his playing the warden in "Escape from Alcatraz."
I know, also, what it is to be addicted to an old show on video. Right now, I'm tearing through the "Dark Shadows" collection.
Sorry I'm late. LOVE this show! Fastidiously taped the entire Sci-Fi Channel marathon years ago (need to dig those back out some day). If ever I get to visit the UK, I will definitely go to Portmerion, Wales if at least just to say in that No. 2 voice "You are in the Village." McGoohan also filmed some "Danger Man" episodes there - another cool series.
FYI - AMC is reviving the series with Jim Caviezel and Ian McKellan. Should be interesting.
